    About this ebook

    An extraordinary family saga from the “tirelessly inventive and entertaining” #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sisterhood books (Booklist).
     
    For generations, the Windsors have lived on the family’s grand estate in Crestwood, South Carolina, as intertwined with local life as sweet tea and pecan pie. Now, on the anniversary of her daughter Emily’s death, Sarabess Windsor believes she may be the last to carry the family name—unless she can find her second daughter, Trinity, who disappeared fifteen years ago. But the town has never forgotten her . . . especially not handsome lawyer Jake Forrest.
     
    Trinity swore never to return to Crestwood. But some ties—to a place, to a past, to the people we once were and dreams we once had—can never be fully broken. And as family secrets are revealed, and desires old and new come to light, Trinity may discover the one thing she never expected to find in Crestwood: a place to call home at last.
     
    “Readers will root for the plucky heroine and her childhood friend Jake . . . The finale’s shocking revelations are just that, as Michaels, who was written more than 80 novels, somehow does it again.” —Publishers Weekly
     
    Praise for Fern Michaels
     
    “Prose so natural that it seems you are witnessing a story rather than reading about it.” —Los Angeles Sunday Times
     
    “Michaels’ Danielle Steel-like fun read has more plot twists than a soap opera, and will keep readers on tenterhooks for the next in the series.” —Booklist
     
    “Michaels just keeps getting better and better with each book . . . She never disappoints.” —RT Book Reviews

    Fern Michaels

    New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels has a passion for romance, often with a dash of suspense and drama. It stems from her other joys in life—her family, animals, and historic home. She is usually found in South Carolina, where she is either tapping out stories on her computer, rescuing or supporting animal organizations, or dabbling in some kind of historical restoration.

      This book was enjoyable, not the best book I ever read. The concept of this novel had scope to be developed in a more intense way. The author only scratched the surface of the plot. However, good beach read.
